I broke my wifi! - EVO 4G General

Hey people. Well I screwed up and broke my wifi. I have no idea why I thought this worked work, but I flashed the wireless n fix from 2.1 thinking it would improve my speed. Nope! Now I can't even activate my wifi. Is there an easy fix other then a complete reinstall of the rom?

Have you tried flashing the original wifi radio or your favorite ROM. You could just flash your nandroid backup

i'll have to look for the wifi radio, but like a moron i didn't do a nandroid backup before this attempt at wireless N.

Anyone having Wifi issues since update?

Installed the OTA update and re-applied unRevoked root. I can't maintain a wireless connection for long. I initially thought it was my router and rebooting the router actually does temporarily fix the problem but it happens again. How do I know it is not the router? My other wireless devices are working! I disable wifi on my phone and reconnect but still have no service. Rebooting the router is the only temporary fix. Gah.
I would say it may be the Rom over the OTA. That is of you're running a custom Rom or anything that's not stock. Are you running the latest radio? The .09.10,check to make sure. If your other devices are working without dropping then that eliminated the router for the equation. If you want to make sure then try connecting to any open WiFi connection to see if you have the same issue. If you do then u know for sure it's not your router.
I would try doing a nandroid first then wipe cache and davlik and flash your Rom again. Do not do a factory reset. Once you boot up just test the WiFi again b4 doing anything. If it works then just restore your apps if needed via Titanium backup.
If u have the same issue then at that point u can do a nandroid restore.
Multiple option,am confident one of them will work,good luck.

i had the same issue running fresh 3.3.0 .. and what i saw that my phone wasnt connecting at all but my laptop and my sisters top were all connecting. So i went into the wireless router ip address .. whatever yours may be. re-entered my password and WALA.. it started connecting to my phone again.. it was strange but thats what worked for me

Data Stopped Working

I created a nandroid backup so I could flash to a new rom and now the data on my stock 2.1 does not work. I am not sure why it is not connecting. Nothing was changed during the backup process.
Hey,
tbh, just move on and flash your new rom. Data will be there when you arrive at you freshly installed rom.
I installed the new rom but still I do not have any data. I have full bars but no 3g or edge.
Sorry Sharky,
I had data issues (after messing with a 3g toggle widget) so I Odin'd back to stock and flashed Team Whiskey's Nero Beta 3 and data is certainly working fine now. Sorry for the troubles. Have you done anything (titanium backup etc) at all to this fresh new rom and it still isn't working on a fresh rom?? FYI, I'm no pro at this, just trying to help.
Did you try only 3g?

[Q] Evo Will not sign onto 3g need assistance

Hardware Version 0003
Im having a issue with my Evo a few days ago I switched from mikfroyo to mikginger and since then i have only been able to get onto a CDMA-1xrtt network or 4G. could this just be a build issue on mikginger or is it possible that it is a issue with my actual hardware? I checked my gf's evo which is still on mikfroyo and shes able to get 3G and is never on 1x.
After searching I havent found anything to support the idea that its mikginger but has anyone else had this issue before I do a complete wipe and take the phone back to the new OTA
(Nandroid first) Flash a rooted 2.2 ROM, whether it be stock, Azrael, or such.
Go into EPST (Dial ##3282#, Choose edit mode), enter your MSL code, Data Profile, hit the menu button and choose restore. Just sit there, your phone will reboot and everything will go back to default. This should fix your 3G issue.
Have you updated your radios or something recently? I have, and seem to be staying on 3G more often.
I don't know about restoring from your nandroid, you can try it, but I always start fresh.
Download MSL reader from the market and write down your MSL code
Dial ##3282#
Choose edit mode
type in your MSL
Select Data Profile
Hit Menu on your phone
Hit restore
hit okay.
It will reboot phone and reactivate. You should have 3G after that. I had to do that as well recently. the stock EVO only shows 3G even when I am in 1X so I was always in 1X just didn't realize it.
What these guys said It doesn't need to be a stock rom, just a sense rom.
As you've found out, the notification icon is more of a guideline and spoof by HTC/Sprint to show 3G most of the time within the script. The aforementioned tips could very well do the trick for you or it could be hardware related. I've done those steps and countless hours of doing everything under the sun to going as far as unrooting to see if it would come back..no dice. I was traveling and had the issue in several states, so it wasn't a local network issue as well.
One thing you can do is go into a rom with 2.0 or later sense. Go to Settings:>About phone:>Network...look under Mobile network type. If it says CDMA - EvDo rev. A, you can stop worrying about your 3G being borked. Going to an area that you KNOW has 3G may help with being comfortable. If it says 1Xrxx then you might have a hardware issue as I did, and had to get mine swapped out. Hopefully it's within the first year or you have the insurance if that is the case.
Hopefully the tips given before fix the issue, which it should aside from hardware issues.
Good Luck
thanks, it did the trick I am using MikGinger and ended up doing a full wipe for the update, did the trick and im back to my normal speeds
Thanks Everyone
I have the same issue after flashing a MikG rom. However, entering ##3282# in my dialer doesn't do anything. It doesn't launch EPST as its supposed to. How do I fix that?
what mik rom are you using, I have no problem with 2.0 and my issue was on 1.4

I'm using the latest, 2.15. I wiped everything before flashing. I tried updating the profile and even called Sprint to have an updated data profile pushed to my phone, but it still only shows 1x and the speeds are terrible.

The strange thing is that I wasn't able to use ##DATA# on my phone before I flashed to MikG either. I got 3G Rev A, but I couldn't get into EPST.
I flashed another ROM today (deck gingerbread 1.2) and I still don't have 3G. Any help?
OK, so I flashed to an AOSP Gingerbread ROM where I was still having the issue with only seeing 1x.
Then I flashed the latest radio, NV and PRI. Still no 3G.
Then I flashed to the latest stock rooted ROM. There I was finally able to get into EPST and change the setting to Automatic. It was on CDMA Only.
I now see State 3 = Connected in the EVDO Engineering menu from the Field Test Menu (##33284#). Hope this helps someone else. No wonder I had been getting ****ty "3G" speeds ever since I got my EVO. I wish the stock ROM would tell you that you're on 1x, not EV-DO, like every other phone does.
Now as my final step, I'm about to restore the backup of the Sense 2.1 ROM I flashed yesterday.
Restoring back to MikG 2.15 was a success, I have actual 3G now.
My apps are all there, but user data is gone and the apps that I downloaded from the Android Market don't show in the My Apps section. I might hard reset and install everything from scratch because I don't know if its as smooth as it could be either.
No 3G
I'm having the same issue on my girl friends phone. When I flash mikg rom on it no 3G, only 1x. When I flash fresh evo, it works just fine. I wonder why this is? My phone has no problems what so ever. I flashed the same roms she did.

How are you flashing? What recovery? Are you wiping everything? Are your radios up to date? Did you update prl and profile after flashing?

Im using AM 2.3 recovery. I did all that. I wiped everything. The funny thing is that I did the same thing on my phone that I did on hers and mines works perfect. We went from Fresh EVO to MikG. I put her back on Fresh evo (flashed the new version) to fix the issue. But she is being a pain in the butt and wants the same ROM cuz she wants to use some of the themes for MikG and what not. Anyways, I'm going home and going to try the fix using ##DATA# and see if it works. I'm just more curious to know why this happens to some phones and not others.
it worked
Well going to fresh evo then restoring my networking using ##DATA# worked. I flashed MikG and she has 3G now. Thanks guys.

liberty 2.0 wifi not able to connect

Ok so ever since I updated my phone to .621 and then restored back to when I had the previous version .605 and rooted with liberty 2.0. My wifi just will not connect. I have tried resetting the wifi with apps like wifi fixer and having my phone completely forget the connection. To rebooting my phone a few times, putting into airplane mode and back again. Also have tried restoring back to a later backup of liberty when I know that the wifi was working for sure. Even though it has always worked fine with liberty and without liberty.
I don't know what to do! I really want my wifi back and working. I don't get good reception in my house at all and my internet speed at home is so fast I miss it. If anyone has any ideas as to what I can do or should do that I have not already tried please let me know. My next step, if I can't get it fixed would be to back up my current rom and wipe everything completely. Then, re-install the liberty rom from scratch.

This could very well be a problem with liberty itself I have had this issue as well with some roms liberty was one of them that borked my wifi because you took .621 it has raised many incompatability and instability issues I recommend trying a different rom if your able to get into Clockwork mod recovery pooka`s cm7 works good as well as a few others just make sure you stick to those that have gingerbread kernel not froyo or you will get bootloader errors.

Wifi works then stops

I wiped the system .. Installed the stock rooted rom then installed the kernel with wifi fix right away... Everything works perfect for about 24 hours exact and then the wifi breaks and stops working so I have to restore my phone and lose everything every 24 hours... Is there a better way to do this cuz it's kinda sucking
Restore your phone why? WiFi is a kernel controlled thing, odds are a complete restore is never necessary with connection issues. I know of nothing in a ROM that directly affects your WiFi connections. I would say worst case scenario reflash your kernel when it "breaks". Note importantly, I would get a fresh download of your kernel and baseband and re install.

??What??
What recovery?
What 'stock rooted' ROM?
What Kernel?
What WiFi Fix?
and HOW on each of those?
Then why reflash whole ROM.
What baseband (radio/modem) are you on?
